July 31, 2025
MOSCOW, Idaho — University of Idaho raised a record $67.6 million in Fiscal Year 2025, the largest amount for a single year in its history and $15 million more than it raised the previous year. This is the fifth consecutive year U of I has raised at least $50 million.
During Fiscal Year 2025 (July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025), individuals and organizations gave $19.3 million to student scholarships, $38.5 million to research and academic programs, $7.5 million in faculty support and $2.3 million to U of I’s facilities, labs and operations throughout the state.
“Six years ago, we set an aggressive goal, one that many thought was unreachable as it would result in the largest nonprofit fundraising campaign in Idaho history,” U of I President Scott Green said. “Our Vandal Family responded, reaching the goal eight months early, and they continue to provide record support as we approach the end of the campaign this December. The result is a stronger institution that continues providing a nation-leading, quality education at a great value to our students, world-class research and the ability to strategically support Idaho industries. We are grateful for every donor because, together, they generate enormous positive impact and contribute to a thriving, unstoppable future.”
Included in the FY25 total was a significant gift to establish the university’s first endowed deanship. The endowment will provide a stable, long-term funding source for the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences dean’s strategic initiatives, faculty support, student programs and other priorities.
University of Idaho is in the final year of its Brave. Bold. Unstoppable. comprehensive fundraising campaign, which has raised $514.2 million since 2015 through direct donations, gifts-in-kind, estate bequests, donations of stocks and other contributions. The comprehensive campaign runs through Dec. 31.
